Homestead

Hobart


This old pub has been here forever under myriad names: never a particularly successful or enduring business venture. But the rambling Homestead seems to be making a better go of things, with live country, blues, folk and sundry singer-songwriters. Cheap pints Tuesday; cheap jugs Wednesday; kitchen open late.
